- FIG. 1 represents a surface characterization device 100 provided with a force sensor 104 used during a method for estimating a roughness R of a surface according to a particular embodiment.
- the device 100 is an artificial finger having a gripping body 102.
- the device 100 is provided with the force sensor 104, also called a force sensor, which is here a triaxial effort sensor 104 of the MEMS (Microsystem Electromechanical) type.
- the force sensor 104 shown in detail on the figure 2 , comprises a deformable membrane 124, for example of circular shape, and a rod 126 mechanically connected to the center of the membrane 124.
- the rod 126 has for example a cylindrical shape with an axis parallel to the axis Z of the orthogonal reference (X, Y, Z) shown in the figures.
- the membrane 124 and the rod 126 are for example made from a single silicon monocrystal.
- the rod 126 is embedded in a coating structure 108 of elastomer covering the force sensor 104 and thus protecting the force sensor 104.
- the coating structure 108 is for example composed of polyurethane of the type LOCTITE 3957 having a hardness of 80 Shore A, thus approaching the mechanical properties (such as viscoelasticity) of the natural skin, while remaining sufficiently hard to avoid too rapid wear of the coating structure 108 due to the repetition of measurements made by the device 100.
- the force sensor 104 is further recessed at one face of a flat support 106 based on a hard material, for example epoxy, integral with the body 102.
- the forces experienced by the encapsulation structure 108 are transmitted to the rod 126 which deforms the membrane 124, these forces corresponding to the force perceived by the force sensor 104 during the displacement of the device 100 against the studied surface.
- the deformation of the membrane 124 by the rod 126 is then measured by transduction means, for example piezoresistive strain gages or capacitance-sensitive detectors, arranged on the membrane 124 and which deliver one or more signals representative of the force perceived by the force sensor 104.
- the transducer means of the force sensor 104 may correspond to eight piezoresistive gauges 128 (their resistances varying as a function of the mechanical deformations they undergo), for example carried out by localized doping in the membrane 124, and arranged on two perpendicular axes in the plane of the membrane 124 (plane parallel to the plane (X, Y)) and electrically interconnected by forming two Wheatstone bridges around the rod 126.
- the force sensor 104 When the encapsulation structure 108 of the device 100 is moved against a surface to be characterized, this displacement creates a force perceived by the force sensor 104.
- the gauges 128 are then compressed or stretched, creating an imbalance of the center points A, B , C and D corresponding to the connection points between two gauges 128 arranged along the same axis.
- the force sensor 104 is arranged such that an axis of the rod 126 is orthogonal to the surface characterized.
- one of the measurement axes of the force sensor 104 (corresponding to one of the axes in which the gauges are aligned, corresponding to the X and Y axes represented on the figure 3 ) in the plane of the surface to be characterized is parallel to the direction of displacement of the force sensor 104.
- S X , S Y and S Z correspond to the sensitivities of the force sensor 104 according to each of the axes X, Y and Z.
- the sensitivities S X and S Y of the force sensor 104 are equal to about 200 ⁇ 10 mV.N -1
- the sensitivity S Z of the force sensor 104 is equal to 51 ⁇ 2 mV.bar -1 .
- a surface exploration device 200 In order to be able to automatically and accurately move the device 100 on the surface to be studied, it is coupled to a surface exploration device 200, an exemplary embodiment of which is shown in FIG. figure 4 , making it possible to move the device 100 against the studied surface which is arranged on a support, not shown, facing the device 100.
- a surface exploration device moving the surface to be studied against the device 100 that could be kept fixed.
- Such a device 200 has the advantages of allowing the analysis of a large number of types of surfaces, and allows a meticulous control of the parameters for implementing the method, for example that of the forces applied to the device 100 (that is ie with what force the device 100 is pressed against the surface studied) or the speed of movement of the device 100 against the studied surface.
- the device 200 is placed on an anti-vibration marble 202 in order not to disturb the process in the event of external vibratory disturbances.
- the support of the studied surface may be stainless steel and comprises for example magnets that can help maintain one or more surfaces to study.
- This support has for example two possible states: advanced or retracted. These states are achieved for example with a double-acting cylinder which is activated or not, which makes it possible to come into contact with the surface to be studied with the device 100 or remove it.
- a damper makes it possible to reduce the shock at the moment of contact between the studied surface and the device 100 in order to avoid a deterioration of the force sensor 104 and / or the coating 108.
- To adjust the normal force ( along the axis Z) with which the device 100 is pressed against the surface studied the latter is brought into contact with the device 100, then its position along the Z axis is adjusted accurately for example with a micrometric screw.
- the device 200 comprises two motors 204 which make it possible to move an arm 206, at the end of which the device 100 is fixed, in two orthogonal directions of a plane parallel to the studied surface (one allowing a horizontal displacement of the device 100 , parallel to the axis X, and the other allowing a vertical displacement of the device 100, parallel to the axis Y).
- the device 100 is first disposed against the surface 150 using the surface exploration device 200 previously described.
- the coating structure 108 of the device 100 is then rubbed against the surface 150 by horizontally moving the device 100, that is to say parallel to the axis X (the studied surface being disposed in a plane parallel to the (X, Y) plane), for example with a speed of exploration equal to about 5 mm / s.
- the direction of movement of the device 100 is referenced symbolically by a horizontal arrow referenced 152.
- the device 100 could be moved in a different way against the studied surface. In this case, it is considered that the axis X always corresponds to the direction of movement of the device 100 on the studied surface 150.
- the device 100 is orthogonally disposed to the studied surface 150, that is to say such as the axis of the rod 126 (parallel to the Z axis as shown in FIG. figure 2 ) of the force sensor 104 is orthogonal to the plane of the surface 150 (which is parallel to the plane (X, Y)).
- the components of the force perceived by the force sensor 104 during its displacement against the surface 150 correspond to the components F para and F orth of this force in the plane of the studied surface 150 and to the normal normal component F on the surface 150. It is also conceivable that the device 100 is not orthogonally disposed on the surface 150 during its displacement against this surface 150.
- the force with which the device 100 is applied against the surface 150 may be adapted in particular in order to compensate for any flatness defects of the surface 150, and to avoid, for example, any breakage of the contact between the device 100 and the surface 150 during its operation.
- This initial normal force is for example equal to about 0.5 N. During the exploration of the surface studied, this normal force can vary between about 0.2 N and 1.2 N because of flatness defects of this surface 150.
- the forces generated by the roughness of the surface 150 are transmitted to the rod 126 which deforms the membrane 124 of the force sensor 104.
- the force F ortho perceived by the force sensor 104 (step 304) is measured. This measurement corresponds to the voltage U Y delivered by the force sensor 104. Only the voltage U Y , that is to say the signal delivered by the sensor 104 which is proportional to the force F ortho (depending on the direction parallel to the studied surface 150 and orthogonal to the direction of movement 152 of the device 100) perceived by the sensor 104 will be used in the following process to determine the roughness R of the studied surface.
- the measurement of ortho F alone is information that is related solely to the topology of the studied surface 150 and which is not disturbed by local variations in the adhesion and slip properties of the materials of the surface 150 and the coating 108, unlike the signal U X which corresponds to the measurement of the force F para perceived by the sensor 104 in the direction of movement 152 of the sensor 104.
- the variations of the values of the signal Y Y come in particular from the stresses caused by the hollows and the lateral bumps to the axis of movement of the device 100 on the surface 150 which are representative elements of the roughness of the surface 150 that is to be characterized.
- the possible variations of the normal force of the device 100 against the surface 150 have no impact on the measurement of F ortho performed which is independent of this effort.
- a large evaluation length is preferably chosen in order to have the best possible results.
- the sensor 104 also delivers, during the exploration of the surface 150, the voltages U X and U Z. These signals can be used during this process: for example, the period during which the device 100 moves against the surface 150 can be accurately determined by a detection of edges on the signal U X , which allows for example to easily eliminate the parts of the signal U Y that are delivered by the sensor 104 while the latter does not yet move against the surface 150.
- a high-pass filtering of the signal F ortho (t) is carried out in order to center the values of the samples around 0 and to eliminate the coarse variations of this signal which correspond to the defects of shapes and the undulations of the surface 150 and not to the roughnesses that we seek to characterize (step 308).
- This filtering can be performed with a cut-off wavelength equal to about 1/5 of the evaluation length, that is to say the length on which the device 100 is rubbed on the surface 150. It is possible to choose a cutoff wavelength equal to about 2.5 mm, which corresponds to a cutoff frequency of about 2 Hz for a speed of movement of the device 100 on the surface 150 equal to about 5 mm / s.
- a statistical parameter P is calculated that is representative of the variations of values of the signal F ortho (t) (step 310).
- This deviation from the avdev average (F ortho (t)) can be compared to the arithmetical average deviation of the roughness of the surface, generally called Ra.
- the statistical parameter P may correspond to the maximum amplitude of F ortho (t), equal to: max (F ortho (t)) min (F ortho (t)), with max (F ortho ( t)) corresponding to the maximum value of F ortho (t) and min (F ortho (t)) corresponding to the minimum value of F ortho (t).
- the statistical parameter P may correspond to the average roughness depth, denoted R Z , corresponding to the arithmetic mean of the greatest roughness depths separated from different contiguous measuring sections.
- the statistical parameter P is derived from the time signal F ortho (t), itself obtained from the temporal signal U Y (t) .
- the roughnesses do not necessarily have particular periodicities (except for oriented roughnesses) and no characteristic line would emerge from a frequency spectrum of F ortho (t) or U Y (t) .
- the five statistical parameters indicated above are the most representative for estimating roughness R because they make it possible to perform better differentiation between surfaces of different roughness.
- these five parameters have a linear link between their values and the value of the corresponding roughness.
- the statistical parameter P corresponds preferably to the standard deviation ⁇ which is the parameter from which it is possible to make the best estimate of the roughness R.
- the statistical parameter P corresponds to a statistical parameter representative of the variations of the values of F ortho (t) or U Y (t) .
- this statistical parameter P is calculated from the ortho force F orthogonal to the direction of movement of the force sensor 104, and not from the component F para parallel to the direction of movement of the sensor 104, this parameter P is therefore independent of the normal force with which the device 100 is applied against the surface 150 and the coefficient of friction of the device 100 against the surface 150.
- the statistical parameter P is calculated from the signal F ortho (t) filtered, this parameter can therefore be noted P (F ortho (t)).
- P (F ortho (t)) it is possible to calculate the statistical parameter P directly from the signal U Y (t), corresponding in this case to P (U Y (t)), which makes it possible not to have to perform the calculation of F ortho (t) and calibration to determine the sensitivity S Y of the sensor 104.
- ⁇ and ⁇ being coefficients whose values depend on the characteristics of the force sensor 104 used and the normal force with which the sensor 104 is applied against the surface 150.
- the values of the coefficients ⁇ and ⁇ are known, or determined at prior learning.
- the roughness R thus calculated is well representative of the depths and heights of the hollows and bumps present on the studied surface 150.
- This learning phase is implemented from k reference surfaces, whose roughness, denoted Z k , are known and different, where k is an integer greater than or equal to 2.
- Z k roughness
- the number of passages on the same surface is noted j and is assumed identical for each of the surfaces explored. More the Numbers of surfaces k and of passages j are important, the more the training realized is robust.
- Statistical parameters Q k representative of the variations of the signals U Yk (t) (or signals F ortho-k (t) calculated from the signals U Yk (t) ), corresponding, for example, to the standard deviation, the variance , the average deviation, the maximum amplitude or the average roughness depth, are then calculated from the signals obtained with these known roughness surfaces Z k .
- the statistical parameter P being in this case calculated from all the measurements of U Y (t) (or F ortho). (t) ) of the different passages of the sensor 104 on the surface 150.
- U Y (t) or F ortho). (t)
- Such a variant makes it possible to attenuate certain point defects of the signals which can appear on a single passage of the sensor against the surface 150.
- These variants can advantageously be made by using a matrix of several devices 100, each equipped with a force sensor similar to the sensor 104, making it possible to simultaneously perform several measurements on different zones of the studied surface 150.
- This matrix of devices 100 may be disposed at the end of the arm 206 which can therefore move simultaneously, at the same speed and in the same direction, the set of devices 100.
- the device 100 is moved against the surface 150 by the device 200 for surface exploration, ensuring a precise and automated movement of the device 100 against the surface 150.
- the operator must make sure to move the device 100 parallel to the axis X of the force sensor 104 so that the voltage U Y delivered by the force sensor 104 corresponds to the orthogonal force to the direction of displacement of the force sensor 104.
- the device 100 will also be held perpendicular to the surface 150 by the operator. Such manual manipulation is for example envisaged when the surface to be studied is not flat and difficult to access by the device 200.
- the roughness is calculated solely from the force F ortho perceived by the force sensor 104 in a direction orthogonal to the direction of movement of the sensor 104 and parallel to the surface 150, obtained via the voltage U Y delivered by the force sensor 104 when the device 100 is well orthogonal to the surface 150 and moved along the X axis of the sensor 104, the voltages U X and U Z delivered by the force sensor 104 can be used to calculate other properties of the surface 150.
- the voltage U Z can be used to estimate the bearing force of the device 100 against the surface 150
- the voltage U X can be used to estimate the friction between the device 100 and the surface 150, through the calculation of the coefficient of friction which is defined as the ratio between F para (proportional to U X ) and F normal (proportional to U Z and constant for a perfectly flat surface).
- F ortho the measurement of F ortho
- information is obtained which is only related to the topology of the surface 150, and that from the measurement of F para
- the measurement of the normal force F can also serve to separate the influence of the bearing force with respect to these contact properties.
- the coefficient values of such a nonlinear relationship can be determined by learning, via nonlinear regression.
